My understanding is that Social Security is already Y2K, DoT has been Y2K for a couple of years now and who knows for the IRS. Our biggest problem is that since the Department of Health is essentially a clearing house for $6 billion/year in the state of Texas, we got tagged as a 'mission critical' agency by the state legislature. THEY (unfortunately) had been listening to all the 'Chicken Little's running around with that "sky is falling" and we have to be Y2K compliant by 31 December. Yeah, that would be December of THIS year. So, along with converting from mainframe COBOL to network COBOL - we're having to then convert the network COBOL to be Y2K. Happy times here, ohboy.
